Fussy, yet Feisty

Friday, December 23, 2011 9:30pm

Overall, Morgan seems to be feeling a little better.   Her total recovery is a slow process. We think she is moving in the right direction.     The doctor believes what she is experiencing this week is contributed to her overall lung condition.  Due to the cronic lung condition, this spell is not uncommon.  We just hope these incidents are few and far between. 

While Morgan ate the entire bottle last night, she has not eaten a full bottle by mouth since then.  The nurses will feed her by mouth until she tires out.  What she doesn't eat my mouth is given to her through her feeding tube.

She is still a little fussy and not resting well, however, Morgan was a little more alert today when I visited her.  We are certainly glad this is the case. 

Even though our little Morgan is not 100%, she is still up to her antics. Morgan is being administered antibiotics, as preventative, via an IV.  Yesterday, Morgan pulled a stunt and pulled the IV needle out of her left hand.  Naturally, the nurse moved the IV to her foot.  Today, she pulled the same stunt and the IV was out her foot.  As of this afternoon, Morgan's IV was in her right hand with extra straps to keep it from being pulled out!  That is our little, spunky and feisty little girl!  Start praying for us now... what stunts will she pull as she grows! 

We are prayerful and hopful that Morgan is feeling better and moving forward. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.  Pray for her overall health, against infections, her lung development, and for those taking care of her.

Thank you for all your love and support!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
